setting this project up without Heroku #13

I'm interested in running this project from an AWS EC2 instance.

I should have no problems doing that following these instructions correct? https://github.com/alvarcarto/url-to-pdf-api#development

You'll also need to make sure your EC2 instance has Chrome installed.

lmj0011 commented 6 years ago

Headless Chrome or just the regular Chrome, also which version?

adrianfalleiro commented 6 years ago

I believe you need Chrome 59+

Puppeteer (the library that this project uses to interact with Chrome) will launch the browser in headless mode.

For some reason, I thought those were 2 different things :smile_cat:

kimmobrunfeldt commented 6 years ago

Puppeteer should download a correct Chrome binary by default installed. So there shouldn't be a need to download the Chrome separately, just npm install in this repo and it should work.

However you may need to install some dependencies via apt-get. You can find some details here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/807

I just published a travis auto build docker image for this project. You can setup this project using one single line of docker command:

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name url2pdf microbox/node-url-to-pdf-api

for more details, please checkout https://github.com/microbox/node-url-to-pdf-api

PS: The image size is 286MB !!! The new size is 264MB

Docker image released by @microbox would be the way to go from my point of view. I updated this also into the readme. Thanks!
